W Examiner: “Circulation of daily newspapers has dropped to a 77-year low, signaling an end to print and a shift to all-digital delivery, according to a new industry review. The Pew Research Center said that circulation has reached a new low of 34.6 million, six million less than papers sold in 1940.”

Five years ago Burst Updates covered a CBS study: “The number of Americans reading print newspapers, magazines and books is in rapid decline.
Only 29 percent of Americans now say they read a newspaper yesterday – with just 23 percent reading a print newspaper. Over the past decade, the percentage reading a print newspaper the previous day has fallen by 18 points (from 41 percent to 23 percent).”

A Pew report in 2008 was consistent with those results.

The conclusion: “The news media does not exist to inform the public, it’s a campaign agent for the DNC. The people, sick of being played, abandoned news media sources long ago for the facts in order to decide for themselves.”
